Does Quantum Entanglement Define Our Existence?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the question of whether quantum entanglement can explain human existence. The original poster expresses a newfound interest in quantum mechanics after watching a PBS Space-Time episode and tentatively concludes that quantum mechanics might hold the answer. However, a response clarifies that while quantum mechanics (QM) provides foundational insights into the universe, it does not directly explain human behavior. The response emphasizes the need for additional layers of scientific, psychological, and socio-political theories to understand human actions, ultimately leading to the closure of the thread due to forum rules.

hello: I don’t know where to post this and I think this is as good a place as any here.
question: does quantum entanglement explain how we are?

I am having trouble Even trying to express the question above. But, I just viewed PBS space-time series 6 episode eight: “how do quantum states manifest in the classical world?”

Having viewed that, and not having any advanced physics background at all, I’m inclined to answer my own above question as: “yes.”

what do you think? Thank you.

Ultimately, QM explains everything (except Garvity, of course!). But, it doesn't explain human behaviour directly. You need many layers of scientific, psychological and socio-political theories for that.

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
